KUJA DOSHAM - RAHU KETU / KALA SARPA DOSHAM
What is Kuja Dosha?
When Mars placed in 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 12th from Janma Lagna in your Rasi (Kundali) chart, it is called kuja dosha. This is a general notion of several astrologers. But it is partially true. Several exemptions also mentioned by our Sages (Rushis) in several Astrological books. For example, those born in Mesham, Karkataka, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Meena Lagnas there is no Kuja dosha. Also, when Kuja was aspected by Guru, the ill effects of Kuja dosha will be reduced remarkably. Those who are having Kuja dosha they are expected to have late marriage and probably two marriages also. But for late marriage, though the person do not have kuja dosha; due to other doshas in his kundali (jatakam / Rasi chart) marriage can be delayed. For example, when shastadipati presents in 7th, lord of second house debilitation, debilitated planets in 2nd or 12th; Rahu-Ketu dosha in the horoscope... all these factors also leads to late marriage and other marital problems in one's life.
What is Kala Sarpa Dosha?
When all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu (i.e., the moon's north node and the moon's south node), Kaalsarp Yoga is formed. Complete Kaalsarp Yoga is formed only when half of the chart is unoccupied by planets. Even if one planet is outside the Rahu-Ketu Axis, there is no Kaalsarp Yoga.
Before you do any remedies for the Kaalsarp Yoga, make sure that all planets are between Rahu and Ketu. Even if there is one planet outside the Rahu-Ketu axis the Kaalsarp Yoga does not exist. Do not confuse Kaalsarp Yoga with Nag/Naga Dosha or Karaka Dosha.
